Review of Site
The TeamBuildr online website has done nothing but make my life as a college softball coach easier. I have just recently signed my team up for the bronze package and it is worth every penny. As a coach who is not just in charge of the everyday operations of the program, I must also implement in season and off season workouts for my athletes. Utilizing this online tool, has made it easy for me to create and organize workouts for all of my players anytime I want, and allows me more time on the field coaching instead of in front of a computer writing on excel spreadsheets. I save money on paper because athletes can utilize the program via cell phone, tablet, or computer. I am also able to upload exercise videos and word documents for further explanation of exercises or agility drills.
